On the road again...

On Friday we’ll be leaving early in the morning on vacation. Heading out to Madison, Ohio to visit my wife’s sister and her family for Friday evening and Saturday, then off on Sunday to Wilmington, North Carolina to stay with my wifes mother and grandmother. We’ll be there all week and then make the trip back in reverse.
All told there is about 20 hours of travel one way (New Hampshire > Ohio > North Carolina). We do the trip this way because it’s considerably less stressful, and only adds about 4 hours to the trip. As an added bonus our kids get to see their aunt and cousins.
There aren’t any plans to do anything wild and crazy. We always hit the beach at least once while in Wilmington and we love the food down there. You can’t get barbeque up here like they make up it down south. Another treat is that we can get some Krispy Kreme donuts, hot off the conveyor—there are no Krispy Kremes up this way (probably a good thing otherwise I’d be 300+ pounds).
I’ll be bringing my camera and laptop (hoping to steal some free wireless while down there, we aren’t far from the college). If I’m lucky I’ll be able to get some good photos and post them to Flickr (I’ll link to them here if I do so).
Hope you guys are having a good time down in the big NC! Caitlin and I are all over the pets and keeping the flowers alive. Hope you have a safe trip back, and we’ll see you soon!
